testingWERX

At enduranceWERX we have developed a unique Training Zone Test to precisely determine your ideal Heart Rate and Power training levels. In a 15-20 minute test our expert coaches will gain specific knowledge about your training status, aerobic capacity, and energy expenditure, used to scientifically calculate your ideal training zones. Whether a cyclist or triathlete, enduranceWERX uses a lactate threshold test (LT test) to determine your training zones. This protocol is the most accurate way to define your individual training zones; we do not try to guess what is happening inside the body, we measure it!

During our Blood Lactate Threshold Test we will determine the ideal metric for determining your Power and HR training zones. Through a graded exercise test the workload is progressively increased every few minutes until you are no longer able to continue. Each stage we collect a small droplet sized blood sample at the fingertip and monitor your HR, cadence, and rating of perceived exertion. There is no set end to the test but once we obtain the blood values we need to determine your fitness the test is stopped. Typically this occurs within 15-20 minutes. Following the test you are provided with results and a 15 min consultation.
